Injuries are stacking up for the Heat.

After losing Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Miami was forced to play Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals without starting guard Gabe Vincent. The 26-year-old is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in the fourth quarter of the Heat's Game 4 loss to the Celtics.

"He is feeling better, just not quite good enough to play an Eastern Conference Finals game," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before Game 5. "But that's why the guys respect him so much. He was doing everything he possibly could to try to get out there."

Will Vincent be ready for Game 6 on Saturday night? Here are the latest updates on his status.
